Is It Scurvy?
Eight questions. Answer plainly. We will not be storing your responses; we will simply be thinking about them.
1. When you press a thumb into your own shin, how long does the dent stay? Has anyone ever told you not to do that in public?
2. Do your gums and your finances bleed at roughly the same provocation?
3. Within the last season, have you eaten something that was recently alive and a plant?
4. Has a colleague described you as “looking a bit eighteenth-century”? Is this the first time, or has it become a pattern?
5. You feel a craving for limes that you cannot explain and have chosen not to interrogate. Frequently?
6. Be honest: in your home right now, is there fruit — or is there the memory of fruit?
7. When you climb a single flight of stairs, do you arrive with opinions about whether it was worth it?
8. Have you begun to suspect that the tiredness is not about your job?
